 \subsubsection{Tarjan's SCC}
-Tarjan's strongly-connected-components algorithm is planned for a future revision.
-For current use, see \tcode{kosaraju} above, which provides both a two-graph overload and a
-single-graph overload for \lstinline{bidirectional_adjacency_list} graphs.
+Find strongly connected components of a directed graph using Tarjan's algorithm.
+A strongly connected component (SCC) is a maximal set of vertices such that there is a
+directed path from every vertex in the set to every other vertex in the set.

+                        on-stack flag, DFS stack, or SCC stack) fail.
+                  \item \textbf{Exception guarantee:} Basic --- \lstinline{g} is unchanged;
+                        partial component assignments may have occurred.

+            \begin{itemize}
+                  \item \textbf{Time:} $\mathcal{O}(|V|+|E|)$ --- single DFS pass, each vertex
+                        and edge visited at most once.
+                  \item \textbf{Space:} $\mathcal{O}(|V|)$ auxiliary --- discovery time, low-link,
+                        on-stack flag arrays, DFS stack, and SCC stack.
+            \end{itemize}
+      \pnum\remarks
+            \begin{itemize}
+                  \item Compared to \tcode{kosaraju}, Tarjan's algorithm requires only a single
+                        DFS pass and does not require (or accept) a transpose graph. It therefore
+                        works on any \tcode{adjacency_list} graph, whereas the single-graph
+                        overload of \tcode{kosaraju} requires \tcode{bidirectional_adjacency_list}.
+                  \item Uses an iterative DFS with an explicit stack to avoid recursion-depth limits.
+                  \item A vertex \lstinline{u} is the root of an SCC when
+                        \lstinline{disc[u] == low[u]} after all of its outgoing edges have been
+                        processed.
+                  \item Low-link values track the earliest reachable discovery time in the
+                        current DFS subtree.  Back and cross edges to vertices already in a
+                        \emph{completed} SCC do not update low-link values.
+                  \item If the return value is \lstinline{1}, all vertices belong to a single
+                        strongly connected component (the graph is strongly connected).
+                  \item If the return value equals \lstinline{num_vertices(g)}, every vertex
+                        is its own SCC (a DAG).
+            \end{itemize}
